SUCTION CONTROL

1 This unit is equipped with a suction control collar to help with push and pull on high pile carpets, area rugs and to release suction when dusting delicate objects or

drapery. Located at base of top handle, rotate the collar 90° to minimise suction. Be sure to close again for maximum suction.

POWER BUTTONS

2 The POWER button turns on suction only. This is ideal for use on bare ﬂoors, delicate area rugs and for use with accessories.

3 The BRUSHROLL button spins the ﬂoor brush, ideal for use on carpeted surfaces. Note: The ﬂoor brush will only spin once the vacuum is reclined back.

CORD HOOKS

4 For quick cord access, rotate upper hook 180° and remove cord. Rotate it back for cord storage.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

5 This ﬂoor nozzle has been optimised to work on all types of carpets as well as bare ﬂoors so there is never any need to adjust heights for different surfaces.

FILTERS

6 Remember to clean your ﬁlters regularly under normal use. Also, for optimal performance, tap clean ﬁlters between washes as needed.
